Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the base of πῶς (G4459), which means "how."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of questioning quantity or degree in Hebrew is often expressed with words like כַּמָּה (H4100), which means "how much" or "how many." While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence, כַּמָּה serves a similar function in the Hebrew Bible as πόσος does in the Greek New Testament. Usage: πόσος is used in the New Testament to ask questions regarding the amount or extent of something. It appears in various contexts, often inquiring about the size, number, or degree of a subject. Context: The Greek word πόσος is an interrogative pronoun found in the New Testament, used to question the quantity or magnitude of an object or concept. It is often employed in rhetorical questions to emphasize a point or to provoke thought about the extent of a matter. For example, in Matthew 6:30, Jesus uses πόσος to highlight God's provision: "If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?" (BSB). Here, πόσος underscores the contrast between God's care for the transient grass and His greater care for His people.
